Spooky creatures, frightening places, eerie experiences
– these are the things that haunt us. Sometimes we are
haunted by obsessive habits and persistent memories.
Haunting can be expressed in symbolic, literal, modern,
traditional, abstract, or completely unique ways. What
hauntings can your imagination create?

Eligibility and process

Submitted work can include visual art – paintings, drawings, photography, mixed media, digital, printmaking, installations, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture and other 2- and 3-dimensional media – and written art – fiction, poetry, short stories and other written explorations (up to 900 words). 

• We do not represent artists or sell their work. Any purchase inquiries will be referred directly to the artist.
• Your submission may be previously published, but must be your original creation.
• All artists 18 years and older can apply.
• Our calls for artists do not support video or sound. Good photography that documents interactive or performance art may be submitted.
• All application images and stories submitted to ArtAscent remain the property of the artist and the artist retains the copyright. Applicants agree that ArtAscent may feature their submitted entry for display, marketing, promotions, and exhibition archives worldwide and for all time. We will credit each artist with their name, artwork title and media, website, photographer credit, and gallery if requested.

All work is evaluated based on the vision as relates to the submission theme. Submissions including diverse interpretations of the theme will be considered. The beauty of art is that 100 artists can look at the same thing and interpret it in completely unique ways. That’s what can make it breathtaking.

The submission process includes application fee, application form, submission review and jurying, article editing, and selected artists publication in ArtAscent magazine, website and online social media. Each call is juried independently, so previously selected artists have equal opportunity of being selected again. The focus is on creating a strong and diverse collection of work that explores the call theme.
